Thanks Sloth, yes that helps. I just wanted to confirm if that included overnight camping, rather than just turn up and pay for the day.

Hope it looks like that when I get there this afternoon. Last year it would have been easier to turn up in a boat.

Bunk House accommodation
I'm assuming that bedding is provided, anyone know either way?

Just checked Baskerville website and looked at some on line dorm pics. All rooms seem to have bedding and the write up doesn't mention otherwise.

I stayed there several years ago on a stagg weekend and back then all bedding was supplied.

Cheers

Well setting off tomorrow morning. Weather looks good and got a nice route planned to get there. What's the situation, is there a bar or do I need to stop for supplies?

Bike loaded, just hoping that I can escape from the madness of work on a Friday afternoon and get down at a reasonable time.

TRF Ride Outs at HUBBUK
Just a quick one to say a big "Thank You" to those guys and girls who came out and had a go riding off road Thursday and Friday with myself and 3 colleagues from the TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship).
We really enjoyed taking you out - many for the first time off road, and hopefully building up your confidence to ride safely at the same time as having fun off road.
Thanks for all the positive comments after the ride and we hope to see some of you joining your local TRF group perhaps as preparation for longer world wide travels!

Just a few of us left now and what a great weekend that was not just seeing some good talks but catching up with old friends and getting inspired to go somewhere.

What an amazing weekend! My first bike event of any kind (bar runs to Ryka's and H-Cafe on weekends) and I get the impression I started at the top and everywhere else I visit will be compared against this.

In case they're reading: a big hi to David/Dai, Dougie and Sara, Damian, Tori, Mark, Tiffany, Will and Kate (different couple), Richard, and probably some others who'll hate me now. Lovely to meet you all.

And a big thanks to Grant and Susan, and all the volunteers and presenters.

The sweat hasn't dried from my ride home yet and I find myself checking out future events already...

-Matt

My pulse rate has just returned to normal

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
